Download or read book The Devil s Fruit written by Dvera I. Saxton and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-12 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Devil's Fruit describes the facets of the strawberry industry as a harm industry, and explores author Dvera Saxton’s activist ethnographic work with farmworkers in response to health and environmental injustices. She argues that dealing with devilish—as in deadly, depressing, disabling, and toxic—problems requires intersecting ecosocial, emotional, ethnographic, and activist labors. Through her work as an activist medical anthropologist, she found the caring labors of engaged ethnography take on many forms that go in many different directions. Through chapters that examine farmworkers’ embodiment of toxic pesticides and social and workplace relationships, Saxton critically and reflexively describes and analyzes the ways that engaged and activist ethnographic methods, frameworks, and ethics aligned and conflicted, and in various ways helped support still ongoing struggles for farmworker health and environmental justice in California. These are problems shared by other agricultural communities in the U.S. and throughout the world.

Book excerpt: Ms. Aurora Bourne would do anything to protect her students from harm … even if that means going up against the most powerful corporation on the planet. While getting her fourth grade classroom ready for Fall, Aurora begins to feel sick, and it’s more than back-to-school blues. Outside her windows next to the playground, strawberry fields have just been fumigated and pesticides are drifting into the classrooms, causing serious health issues for children and adults. When the teenage sister of a migrant student goes missing from the strawberry fields, it becomes clear that pesticide poisoning isn’t the only thing threatening the children’s safety, and Aurora begins to understand why farmworkers call strawberries Fruta del Diablo — the Fruit of the Devil. Aurora starts asking questions and gets caught in a web of gangs, drugs, trafficking, and high-level corporate crime. When a Catholic priest comes to her aid, she falls in love with him, complicating her life further. She has no idea he’s actually an ancient nature god out of Pacific Coast indigenous legends.

Download or read book The Fruits of the Devil written by Adeleke Dominion and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2016-03-27 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every believer knows about the fruits of the Holy Spirit, which believers strive to embrace and embody. But are you on the lookout for the tempting fruits of the devil? When the devil crept into the Garden of Eden and offered the forbidden fruit to Eve, she ate it, and offered it to Adam, who ate of the forbidden fruit too. They disobeyed God, and were cast out of the garden. They lost the dominion that God wanted them to have over everything. Jesus Christ came to the world to shed His blood, to pay the price for that mistake. But ever since then, the sons of Adam and daughters of Eve have been taking the devil's fruits from his deceitful hand. Any time you eat these poisoned fruits, you turn away from God. This book is an essential tool in your walk with God-it will educate you about the three deadly fruits of the devil, and with scriptural examples, it will show you the price others have paid for eating these fruits, and also how the Bible teaches us to resist and overcome the devil's temptation. Don't spend another day in sin-learn to say no to the devil, who is the father of lies, and draw closer to your Father in heaven.

Download or read book The Jesus Cult written by Gary C. Price and published by Remnant Publishing House. This book was released on 2001-10-01 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jesus Cult is not a book for everyone. It is written for those both inside and outside the Christian camp who diligently seek the truth and liberation that comes from the True and Living God. This book takes the reader into the spiritual depths of the Holy Scriptures to expose the true spirit behind the deception propagated by religious leaders in the church throughout the ages. The reader of this book will get an understanding of the deception of the devil since before the time of Adam and Eve and how this spirit of deception has infiltrated the church. It is not a text for the weak or feeble; only the sharp and discerning will be able to 'hang on' as Pastor Gary C. Price unveils the internal make-up of Christendom around the globe. Sadly, it is glaringly apparent that multitudes of well-meaning Christians and spiritual zealots are bowing down to religious teaching and traditions that keep them soulish and bound to this present world. By exposing this deception, my prayer is that every reader will repent and turn away from this destructive system and onto a Spirit-led journey to establish a true and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Throughout the pages of this book you will see your life depicted in one way or another. The Jesus Cult not only reveals the spirit of deception, but also provides Biblical answers for the way of escape. The only way is through Jesus Christ. People, it's time to come out of every facet of the world. For too long, we have trusted in all of these worldly systems, from religion and government, to industry and commerce, to no avail. We must begin, today, to rid ourselves of the soulish anchors that bind us to the religious spirit of the Antichrist. Pastor Price's revelation of The Jesus Cult is bold, courageous and uncompromising. His labor 'in the Word and prayer' before the Throne of God has forged in him a prophetic voice to send a clarion call to God's remnant-wherever they reside throughout all the earth. Have no doubt about it; this book is inspired by the Holy Ghost! Through practical, real-life and everyday experiences the Spirit of God began to open the eyes of this shepherd. As Pastor Price met people on the streets of Atlanta, and dialogued with those who sit on church pews every Sunday, the devil's master scheme of deception was clearly exposed. Once he saw the true light, he has never wavered from preaching an end-time message of truth and power. As men and women have encountered the original Gospel of Jesus Christ, they have come out of these religious settings burdened down with demonic weights that plague their souls. They emerge still bound, hurt, and in need of intense deliverance. I have seen the effects of the Jesus Cult on too many of God's people to question its validity and reality in our culture. I am thankful for the impact that this book will have on your life as well. Jesus comes to set the captive free!

Packed with personal stories and scripture to support his points, Horace shares his insights on the problem of pain. His candid and straightforward communication style engages the reader as he addresses this critical topic for the body of Christ today.

Download or read book Viral Frictions written by Elizabeth J. Pfeiffer and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-17 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viral Frictions takes the reader along a trail of intersecting narratives to uncover how and why it is that HIV-related stigma persists in the age of treatment. Pfeiffer convincingly argues that stigma is a socially constructed process co-produced at the nexus of local, national, and global relationships and storytelling about and practices associated with HIV. Based on a decade of fieldwork in one highway trading center in Kenya, Viral Frictions offers compelling stories of stigma and discrimination as a lens for understanding broader social processes, the complexities of globalization and health, and their profound impact on the everyday social lives and relationships of people living through the ongoing HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. This highly engaging book is ideal reading for those interested in teaching and learning about intersectionality, as Pfeiffer meticulously demonstrates how HIV stigma interacts with issues of treatment, race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, social change, and international aid systems.
